INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing Leeming LUT Pro™, the most accurate and professional Look
Up Tables (LUTs) for your camera.
The LUTs have been carefully developed to get the maximum dynamic range and colour
accuracy out of the supported profiles, giving you unparalleled Rec70 precision as well as
perfect camera matching with other supported cameras in the Leeming LUT Pro™ range.
Use them in conjunction with ETTR shooting principles and you will get the highest
possible quality images out of the camera every time.
I am confident you will find these the most accurate LUTs for your camera. Anything less
and I wouldn't have put my name on them!
Enjoy :)

QUICK REFERENCE OF IMPORTANT CAMERA SETTINGS
The settings below are recommended for the LUTs to work properly, in conjunction with an
accurate white balance and using the ETTR zebras to show where the highlights of an
image are clipping.
If you deviate from these settings, your colorimetry and luma curves won’t match precisely
to Rec70 and you may get other errors in your footage. You can find the details of how to
set these in the next section.

FULL CAMERA SETUP GUIDE
Based on the camera listed on the title page of this guide. Your camera may not have all
the same features so adjust as necessary.
1. Connect to your drone and start the DJI companion app.
2. Press the Settings icon and go to the Camera tab (the middle icon).
3. Set Video Size to your preferred resolution. Recommended resolution is 4K HQ (a
crop of the sensor) or 4K Full FOV (downscale of the full sensor). Pick your
preferred framerate.
4. Video Format should be set to MP4. Set the Camera Video Coding to H.265 to
enable 10bit recording.
5. Set Color to DLog-M and set Style to Custom with the following parameters:
Sharpness (triangle) +2, Contrast (circle) 0, Saturation (square) 0. Due to the way
that the Mavic 2 Pro handles noise reduction, you need to set Sharpness +2 to
effectively turn it off. This will give you a natural grain pattern with good detail, ready
to de-noise in post if needed.
6. For White Balance you can set a Custom balance or use Auto. If your drone is
pointed at a grey or white balance chart when you select the Custom function, it will
auto-start at the balance it thinks is most neutral, so that’s a handy way to use a
neutral chart with the drone.
7. Now go to the Gear tab at the top of the Settings.
8. Set Histogram OFF and Overexposed ON. This will help you to see which parts of
the image are blown out by showing zebras on the overexposed areas. Set Storage
Location to SD Card, not Internal Storage, unless you forgot your SD card!
. Go to the Iris tab at the top of the Settings.

10. You can select M for Manual Exposure, to gain access to the various controls. Set
your ISO, Aperture and Shutter as needed to correctly expose your image using the
zebras to find the ETTR clipping point before reducing exposure slightly until the
zebras disappear. Best Aperture is around f4.0 for maximum sharpness.
You are now ready to use Leeming LUT Pro™ with the maximum picture quality available.
Be sure to visit the website to read up on how to use ETTR (Expose To The Right)
principles to get the most dynamic range out of your sensor, as well as the associated
Leeming LUT Pro™ LUT Installation Manual on how to apply the LUTs to your footage in
post-production:

HARDWARE / SOFTWARE QUIRKS AND BUGS
1. To record in 10bit and take advantage of Dlog-M you NEED to set H.265 as your
Video Coding.
